Professionals
What can we do to help your work?
As more and more families are impacted by a child who uses harmful or aggressive behaviour in the home (often referred to as child to parent violence or abuse CAPVA) professionals are seeking information and skills to offer support and advice to those impacted.
Whether you see this daily in your work or are aware of some families on the edge of your services, these behaviours can put a significant strain on the relationships between family members. Knowing what to say and how to respond to families can bring significant changes and help families engage with services.
At Capa, we believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow and thrive.
